💨 Abstract

The article discusses the bias in traditional Indian corporate hiring practices, particularly in the IT sector, which prioritize steady academic performance and uninterrupted educational trajectories. This approach often overlooks individuals who have faced external circumstances that affected their academic consistency, favoring those with family stability, often government employees' children. The author suggests that corporate India should adopt more inclusive hiring practices to tap into a diverse talent pool, recognizing that merit cannot be measured solely through academic consistency.
